Chapter 84
Scott smiled. âMissus Hart, your hand is injured. Whether or not you were bitten
by a dog, you had to be treated. If you insist on thinking that I brought you here
to get rid of the evidence⦠Well, I canât change your mind.
â
Scott was a famed lawyer and was more than capable of answering her
question without admitting to anything.
Vicky looked at him. âSo, how are you going to resolve this, Mister Simmons?â
Enter titleâ¦
âMissus Hart, that dog has been punished, so I guess you can say weâre even.
Why donât we all make compromises and just call this a day?â Scottâs tone was
both gentle and forceful as he purposefully avoided mentioning Vickyâs injury. 1
Vicky knew that she would have been forced to apologize to Mandy had she not
been Tylerâs wife.
Before she could say anything, however, she heard a cold voice from behind
her. âMy wife is injured, as I suppose your pet is. Do you honestly think that your
dog and my wife are on the same level, Mister Simmons?â 1
The three immediately turned around and saw a man standing by the door.
He was dressed in a black suit, and his eyes scanned the room in a way that
sent chills down their spines.
Tension rose in the air, and Scott cowered slightly when he saw Tyler but
immediately recovered. âMister Hart.â
Tyler walked over to Vicky to check on her injury. âDoes it hurt?â
She was stunned for a moment but immediately shook her head. âIt doesnât hurt
now.â
After confirming that her wound was treated, he turned his attention back to
Scott. âMister Simmons, did I understand what you said correctly?â
Though Scott knew Vicky, he also knew that her relationship with Tyler had
been horrible as rumors of their divorce had never been far from his ears. This
was why Vicky did not intimidate him and only chose to let Vicky go to avoid
causing a scene. If it was someone else who was bitten by Mandyâs dog, they
would have never bothered arguing about who was wrong.
âMister Hart, Mandy and Missus Hart are both saying different things.
Missus Hart has no witnesses, and Mandyâs witnesses are all people who work
for us, so they donât truly count. Thatâs why Iâm trying to get them both to
compromise and let go of this conflict,â replied Scott.
âSo you think the wound on my wifeâs hand was caused by herself and not your
dog?â Tyler questioned sharply. He did not ask Vicky about what happened as
though he had already comprehended the entire situation.
Scott paled slightly. âMissus Hart said that she was bitten by the dog, but Mandy
said Missus Hart bit herself⦠Thereâs no way to tell whoâs telling the truth.â
Tyler looked at Vicky and said, âVicky, tell them: Did you bite yourself, or were
you bitten by the dog?â
She met his dark eyes, and her heart instantly started to race. âMiss Simmonsâ
dog bit me.â
Tyler nodded and turned to look at Scott and Mandy. âShe said that your dog bit
her.â
âAnd what she said has to be true?â Mandy argued.
Tyler interrupted her and said, âYes, because sheâs Missus Hart, the wife of
Tyler Hart.â
Vicky jolted in shock, and both Scott and Mandy were stunned.
